Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 02, 2014

Another reason not to have a facebook account (I don’t have one).

Honest, honey. Ashley Madison is an old friend from high school.

Just don’t cheat. It’s as easy as that. There is nothing more precious than a good relationship. So why screw it up?

The “die online” line reminds me of my first semester in college years ago when a friend in drama got excited about getting to “die onstage for the first time.” I commented that I was sure it probably wasn’t the FIRST time.

thebird55 got it right. Just don’t cheat and then there’s no worry about anything.

I think you mean Zuckerman, as in ’Zuckerman’s Famous Pig.’

Facebook: where people go to complain about No Internet Privacy.

I stayed away from fb for sake of my kid who is now in high school. She says it is passé now anyway.

I can’t comment on articles at my hometown newspaper because they use Facebook as a de facto gatekeeper. Talk about letting the fox guard the henhouse.

You know, Facebook is what you make it. I have a Facebook account, I use it mostly to help with my eBay selling. I’m disabled, can’t work, SS doesn’t pay enough to live on, so I’m grateful for them both.`

…passe… isn’t that French for obit?

If you’re cheating and you just don’t use FB, as some people note, isn’t there STILL a problem? I mean seriously, is everyone here off their meds or what? There wouldn’t be a FB problem if there wasn’t a problem with you to begin with!

That is sweet. Mike’s not even checking Kim’s facebook trail.

Thank you, Senator Gore for signing legistation funding the research leading to the creation of the Internet. You done good.

Overall, I think the internet is great. There are a few things that are no so great about it. The electronic age is upon us. Looking forward to autonomous cars. As human beings, we can often use a little help.

I’m perfectly capable of wasting time without resorting to Facebook.

I like a clean bust and luckily my wife keeps hers well washed.

@DragonRydrOne thing I am not is an adulterer. I am not married and I have never been involved with an attached woman.The problem with facebook is the same as the one with cellphones; people engage in behavior in public that should be done privately. So many times, I have heard cellphone conversations taking place in the open that should take place in someone’s kitchen or bedroom. People have lost sense of discretion.

just 2 things that happened because i’m on facebook-got invited to play a music festival in st petersburg russia, and (long story) got to play an amadi and a stradivarius (wrong spellngs?) the former kicked the strad’s ass.

If you die on-line… do you still have to go to work Monday morning? Or do you have to wait for IT to come and cart away the corpse of your computer?

There you go, I knew Facebook had to be good for something.

I agree: in old age one’s thoughts often turn to friends from childhood and college and young—married-age times of life. Finding the whereabouts of woman friends is especially difficult because the married name may be unknown. It’s not as good as knowing the email address but better than a note in a bottle thrown into the sea.

How much longer with “Classic Doonesbury” during the week? I don’t think there are many fans of the re-runs.

Great song, and a great rendition of it.

Divorces, hirings & firings, criminal cases, civil cases; Bookface is very much used for all of them. Don’t post anything, anywhere, that you are not willing to have know by everyone, everywhere, at any time. In other words, the wisest choices are to make it utterly bland and uninteresting, or not to use it at all. I choose the latter.

Wasn’t Zuckerberg famous for a pig?Close. It was Zuckerman.

I may have to “Die on Line”, it amazes me that the print news has not addressed the declining circulation with understanding WHY people buy newspapers (old fashion death notices vs a few large “Obits”) is but one examp;e.

@Chris Sherlock“I’m enjoying them and remember them all.”Me too! I read the first one when Mike came into the room, meeting BD. Been reading ever since..As to George 43, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Connie; "GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

I don’t care what people find out about me from what I put on Facebook. BRING IT!

My only problem is that finding old friends (especially of the female variety) on Facebook tends to make me realize what an insensitive idiot I was.

Problems aren’t just caused by the person posting something that should be private. There are times when former friends or estranged relations post pictures that are embarrassing or post outright lies on their own pages, and these can get reposted or reported to others. There’s no moderator on Fakebook….

Well said and I so agree!!
